OK, I agree with some of the things but not allowed to say 'man up'?

Just what sort of right-on liberal drafted this for Liverpool?

The great thing about a democracy is the power and ability to simply ignore the more extreme versions of political correctness - which I believe would be an appropriate response to this initiative.

The sort or right on Liberal who bannedthe other expressions that you agree with banning like

"Don't be a woman", "Play like a girl" and "That's gay"

But since you differ in opinion one one expression that makes him/her a 'Right on Liberal'

Do you allow anyone to hold an opinion differing from yours without labelling them in a derrogatory way?

So they want to stop fans from using offensive language, yet they issue their staff with a list of banned phrases, perhaps they should also issue the list to all their fans?

Can one imagine this scenario, in the heat of the match, a player is about to come out with a comment, but first he has to reach inside his shirt for his list of banned phrases, likewise are the fans expected to buy this list of banned phrases or will they be printed in the programme, and will there be officials circulating amongst the spectators ready to pounce as soon as they hear a phrase from their bumper list of no, nos?

Suarez brought a lot of harm to Liverpool FC for using the N word. There was nowhere in his contract and club rules that forbade him using the N word, so this is an attempt to write down just what is and isn't acceptable in future.

'Man up' does seem a fairly innocuous phrase but if you ban phrases such as 'Big girls blouse' then you have to ban other gender ladened phrases.
